Cons Every time something is opened, a new window is opened at the same time. Review Source MS Mark S. Accounting Manager Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Striven - Onboarding" August 27, 2025 5.0 Very satisfied. Just finished migration and looking forward to fully implementing Striven. The Striven Team has given us the confidence to fully integrate Striven for all our software needs. Pros Integrated all in one software package. That combines scheduling, inventory and accounting. Plus it is very customizable. Cons The long onboarding process.

Pros Speed, security, friction-less user interfaces, presentation, compatibility across browsers and Operating Systems. Support for all divisions, branches, and multi site complexity. Cons Not much, anything that was missing can be handled with Agile speed to market with new releases or custom changes. Alternatives considered [Dynamics 365](https://www.capterra.com/p/157279/Dynamics-365/) Reason for choosing Striven Cost and quality, then speed and support locally, to the very nimble , agile project implementation teams. Online training and remote assistance was critical - and thankfully this was well in advance of Covid19, which has now strengthened our user case for this platform. Switched from [Dynamics 365](https://www.capterra.com/p/157279/Dynamics-365/) We switched from Salesforce.com because of price and flexibility, we switched from Quickbooks because of complexity they couldnt handle-- Striven handled Lead Management (SFDC) and handled Accounting (ERP) seamlessly.

Senior Accountant Automotive Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Extremely Robust and Dynamic" July 27, 2021 5.0 Everyone within the company has been extremely helpful and responsive. The different departments worked very well together to pass along information that had been given so that our company did not have to constantly repeat information for the integration. They answer our questions quickly and accurately and we have had essentially zero hiccups along the way. Pros This software has everything a business would need all in one place. Too many times do companies find themselves needing a handful of different software programs to organize their different departments. Striven takes all those major departments and stores it in one place, which makes it significantly easier to track, organize, and provide the information needed. Cons There are so many features it can be a bit intimidating to learn for a user who is used to much less. Alternatives considered [NetSuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/135757/NetSuite/) Reason for choosing Striven Timeliness, responsiveness, and most importantly, cost. Review Source AP Ashley P. Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Far beyond our expectations" August 19, 2021 5.0 The staff have been wonderful to work with. They are very direct with there vision, feature capability, and direction of software. There support team have been very crucial in helping us get started with our migration. The overall software has been very well developed and functionality has already saved hours of time in our day to day operations. Pros I love the customization of this software. I can treat any report that narrows down exactly the info I need for invoicing, quoting, part management and more. In the few short months we have used it and very little training I have been able to navigate this system and save myself hours of unnecessary data entry. The ease of use and import has been a huge highlight to this software. They are constantly putting forth effort to make this software improved in function and reliability. Cons Consistency within features that do not go parallel through out the software. Some of the reports could have cross data to give a more comprehensive report however they said this maybe in a future feature release. Reports are still extremely powerful. Reason for choosing Striven It had the major components we needed with POS, Quotes, Invoices, Inventory management and customer portal. It was a easier solution to use and showed with the trial a reduction in time needed to perform basic functions within the software. Switched from [Total Office Manager](https://www.capterra.com/p/80729/Total-Office-Manager/) The performance in our previous solution was very unsteady. We were spending hours of time doing data entry and redoing work due to system failures. The software we came from was very feature driven which cause the performance to be very slow and unreliable.

CFO Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One Shop Stop for Running our Distribution Business" January 7, 2020 5.0 The efficiency and time saved (increase productivity and professionalism) being able to leverage the e-doc storage capabilities, improved and increase sale force productivity through the sales pipeline management and the integration of an accounting package with all the other needs of a small business like our makes us a huge fan of this software and company. The value blows anything else we have ever tried in the 30 years of being in the automotive industry and distribution. Pros Integration of an Accounting System, CRM, Customer Portal and electronic data filing system. Cons While they are consistently making marked improves ever couple of months to the user interface, there's still quirky things in various modules that aren't as intuitive as they could be. Alternatives considered [Zoho CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/155928/Zoho-CRM/)[HubSpot CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/152373/HubSpot-CRM/) Reason for choosing Striven Value, customer support and ease of use. Switched from [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) QB was one dimensional and we need to update our internal process, improve record retrieval and retention and improve or sales departments close ratio--no of which QB had a solution.

Pros All in one software- user friendly. All set up is consistent across the board. Cons Payroll is not included.

Owner/ President Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Total game-changer for my business " February 16, 2023 5.0 The project management tool radically changed the way we do business and now, we have been able to manage the exponential growth we have had in the last couple of years. Pros Love the way all of my information is in one application. Less data entry, producing less risk for error. Information is not in silos, but unified. Can run reports and really understand all the parts of the whole together. Cons Wish it integrated and would sync with Square for my retail component, but we did find a work-around for now.

Associate Product Manager / Events Coordinator Consumer Electronics Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "All In One System!! " February 16, 2023 5.0 Pros Striven allowed us to ditch the 3 tools we were using previously to manage CRM, invoicing, and inventory management. The consolidation of these 3 critical tools has streamlined our business. Cons Striven sends me a lot of emails with updates to our business that I'm already aware of. For example, I just sent an email to a customer through our support email, striven will send an email to my personal email telling me that a CRM conversation has been updated. This is by no means the end of the World and sometimes it's nice to have these updates. Review Source Lisa L. CFO CONSULTANT Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Software that acts like it's expensive but it's not" June 13, 2022 5.0 Better inventory management, less training time, robust accounting Pros This product is easy to use and integrates with other programs Cons A/R aging only has one option - age by due date instead of invoice date.

Offering the ability to customize everything from sale order documents to emails! Allowing customizations in the processing of sales orders, invoices, and items. Cons Some of the integration features are lacking, but Striven actively updates its software to include new integrations every 5 weeks!

President Wholesale Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Striven is a little know powerhouse for your small business" August 11, 2021 5.0 Striven has been such a pleasure to work with. Their staff is extremely helpful and responsive. You almost get to know them and they feel like part of your own company at times. Great people to work with. Pros The software is customisable so as to fit your particular business. Our business has many variables and parts, and we were able to get Striven to do what other bigger system were not able to....at a fraction of the price. Cons None really. There could be some better interfaces and some easier customisations, but overall, there are no real cons with regards to our experience. Reason for choosing Striven Because the system was able to be customised to our specific needs while doing everything else you would normally expect a system to do. Great reporting as well.

Cons When I started, the mobile application was not much userfriendly. but with updates, its getting better. Review Source GG Geoff G. Account Manager Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Account Manager Medical Waste Sales - Review " February 15, 2023 5.0 great Pros Connecting teams in a simple and efficient manner. Great for task management and pulling in different people when needed. Also provides wonderful transparency and helps ensure accountability. Cons Would like the system to allow an email address to be used for multiple contacts -- some offices use 1 central email address for each contact person. Thus, they have different phone numbers but use same email address and it is difficult to create new contact if email address is not unique. Review Source WD Will D. Account Executive Environmental Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Will Drozdik Review " March 28, 2023 5.0 Pros How organized this keeps everything. Ease of looping in other coworkers into customer service issues that may require a few people.

OSS Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Have enjoyed using Striven in the workplace!" February 16, 2023 5.0 I have enjoyed using Striven. It is very seamless and can do many operations simultaneously.! Pros I like how Striven literally keeps everything you need on a customer in one place ('The dashboard") Cons There is not a "save" button when creating jobs. It automatically saves--which is great, but Striven doesn't indicate to the user that it did, indeed, "SAVE" Review Source EN Eric N. Global Product Manager Machinery Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Value Alternative for Small Businesses" February 17, 2023 4.0 Overall, I would say my experience has been mostly positive. Pros For us, the main benefit to Striven was its ability to easily integrate with QBO Cons I dislike that customers must sign into an account in order to pay invoices. There are workarounds, but this was a bit disappointing. The variety of payment methods was refreshing, however. Review Source Raúl S. Account Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "CRM with an intuitive interface" July 11, 2022 4.0 Pros What I have liked the most during the time I have tried it is how usable and easy to understand this CRM is. Many times one of the biggest handicaps you find is the complexity of the platform itself, not so in Striven. Cons A greater number of updates to the platform would be interesting so that the CRM evolves even faster. Review Source AH Austin H. President Farming Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "HAA review" February 16, 2023 5.0 Pros Inventory management features and sales reporting Cons Sometimes it's a little clunky to learn, but once you figure it out it works well Review Source MH Michael H. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly Recommend" February 15, 2023 5.0 Scheduling, billing, proposals, etc. Pros Very easy to use and train on new employees. Cons Would like a feature that deals with mid-tier projects. Review Source GN Garrett N. Owner Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Better Than Great" February 15, 2023 5.0 Pros I like the REST APIs that Striven has built into its system for users. Cons I dislike that Striven is not bigger than Google. Review Source CH Christina H. Clerk Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Using Striven is Super Easy! " August 17, 2022 5.0 Pros I love how easy the program is to use! I have to submit PO's on a daily basis and Striven allows me to do so smoothly. Cons I dislike that Striven will crash sometimes. There have been times where I'll try to submit a PO for processing and the program won't let me submit due to issues on their end. This doesn't happen often though! Review Source RR Ryan R. Senior Systems Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent value" January 13, 2021 5.0 Pros It has an incredible amount of features for the money and there is no license level, meaning one user license gives you access to everything. Many other products require you to buy additional items to get more features. Having the project management / time tracking system live in the same place as a full accounting product is a \*huge\* help. Cons It could use some UX help as some things aren't always very intuitive. We found a few tasks in our older system were easier to reason about, but overall the UX is decent.
